Based on the posting, it does not appear that the interns will be receiving academic credit or pay for these internships. Although the interns may be students, they are still entitled to pay because the internship does not provide them with academic credit.

Both internships are full-time for four months. The expectations include:

Work with the Carleton University S&C Staff to enhance our sports performance program (project)

Weight room supervision

Making these positions unpaid creates a huge barrier to those undergraduate students that cannot afford to work for free over the summer.

We encourage Carleton University to make these internships paid positions or, at least, ensure that they are legal under the Employment Standards Act by creating an educational component and providing students with academic credit.
